Wavepelt wasn't sure what happened after that but he knew he lunged at Dewburst. He leaped on the cat's back trying to pin him down along with Owltalon. "Owltalon, do you think we can control him without killing him"?

 O w l t a l o n“Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.”___________________________Holding down two of Dewburst's paws, Owltalon listened to Wavepelt. He thought momentarily before raising one of his large forepaws into the air and bringing it forcefully down onto the back of Dewburst's head, claws sheathed. The impact would cause the tom to loose consciousness, as he'd hoped.
[[That was so random of me. Dx]]

 "To live is to slowly be born."_____________________________Emberpaw_____________________________Emberpaw sat outside the warrior's den, tail twitching. He had never killed anything but prey before. He had hoped that when he did, it would be a cat from a rival Clan, threatening to kill one of his Clanmembers...but instead, it was a respected warrior of his own Clan.
To make things worse, Dewburst seemed to be infected with the same sickness.
He watched Owltalon knock the cat unconcious. Why hadn't he thought of that? Perhaps Smokefoot could've been saved...
He hauled himself up, and padded over to the cats.]
"I don't think it's possible to control him," he said hoarsely, his deep voice filled with pain. "After all, you can see the way the infected attack their own clanmates...with...with gleeful malice."
[He shuddered.]
"I understand not wanting to kill him, but...there..."
[His voice choked over. He felt agonized.
Suddenly, as if from nowhere, a voice filled his head.
Find the remedy. it said. Plain as day.
Remedy? he thought.
Then his eyes widened.]
"Owltalon," he said quickly. "If...if it's a sickness...do you think there could be a remedy for it?!"

Wavepelt padded over to the cat "someone could keep an eye on him, I'd be willing to watch and take care of him in case he wakes up again. That way if he does wake up before the cure is found, he wouldn't be able to harm anyone".

O w l t a l o n“Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.”___________________________ Owltalon listened to Emberpaw with much interest. Despite still being an apprentice, the young tom was quite knowledgable. Yet he just had to stare in disbelief as the tom suggested the existance of a remedy. Just then, Galespirit spoke up.
“I agree, Galespirit. If the Madness is a illness, logically there would be a cure. But I've never heard of such a thing for this horrid disease.”
He let his gaze drop back down onto Dewburst. How long could the tom last like this...?
“Wavepelt, I appreciate the offer, but it would be at the risk of your life. Dewburst is an experienced warrior, and combined with the Madness, he'd be an even bigger threat...You would not be able to stop him. I believe that Berryblaze could find a paralyzing herb to keep him subdued...”
[[Don't some of you think that there should be a more active medicine cat? Like, no offense to those who are, but cats are dying and...uhh...yeah. > >;;]]

Wavepelt padded closer to Owltalon and whispered to him "Owltalon, well then I guess we need to train before he wakes up again". Wavepelt had a smirk " 'cause I can't help anyone if I can't fight, ecspecially Dewburst".

"To live is to slowly be born."_____________________________Emberpaw_____________________________(( You've got a point, rain. ))
[Emberpaw, normally, would have been delighted at the compliment, but his soul felt empty.
He blinked. Scrunched his face together. Blinked again.
A soft image, almost faded, trickled into his mind.]
"It... he said.
[A rugged meadow waved in the breeze. Hundreds of wildflowers and plants dotted the landscape.]
"It's in a meadow," he said.
[His eyes widened.]
"I've been there, several times...in a dream."
[He could almost see it now, feel it under his paws...
his body swayed, and he snapped back to reality.
His eyes were wide. What just happened?]
(( Emberpaw is one of the first cats with soul control...the ability of his soul to leave his body without killing the body and wander around. c: But there are limitations, so no worries. ))

O w l t a l o n“Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.”___________________________ Owltalon hissed disapprovingly at Wavepelt.
“Your training can wait. We can't afford to leave the camp unguarded when our own cats are turning against each other.”
He turned to Emberpaw as he seemed to recieve a vision from StarClan. Owltalon's ears perked as he looked at the young tom with searching eyes.
“A meadow? Is there an herb that can cure the Madness there?”

"To live is to slowly be born."_____________________________Emberpaw_____________________________[Emberpaw nodded. Suddenly, a wide grin crossed his face.]
"I can get it now," he rumbled.
[He glanced at Galespirit. He had a feeling the warrior would sense what was about to happen...]
"Don't freak out," he added.
[Then, as if slipping out of his own fur, Emberpaw stepped out of his body. His body slumped on the ground, eyes closed, but heart still beating. He padded forward, then looked back one last time at his steady-breathing body.
Somehow, he felt scared leaving it. As if someone could steal it in his absence. (( Which they can...if they had soul control... ))
But he pushed the feeling down and raced out of camp. His paws carried him twice as fast than a normal cat, but still, it would take him a little while to reach the meadow. Perhaps by nightfall...]

Wavepelt padded away from the cats with his head low how can I prove I'm loyal to the clan, if I don't get a chance! He looked at the unconcious cat, don't worry, we're trying to help.

 D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ Duskpaw padded silently out of the apprentices' den. Her head hung low, as she'd seen everything that'd happened outside with Dewburst. She would not allow another cat to be slaughtered because of this disease. She had a gravely determined sparkle in her eyes as she padded up to Galespirit, Owltalon, and Emberpaw, who now lay soulless on the ground. Her eyes widened. This was truly a gift from StarClan. She'd have to speak to him about it later. But now, she turned to Galespirit and Owltalon.
“A large dose of poppy seeds or drinking the poppy plant's milk can cause temporary numbness and mild paralysis. I suggest you give Dewburst that. It's nonlethal, and will keep him in an intoxicated state until you find the cure.”
She stared at the warriors with hard eyes, hoping that they'd hear her out.
[[I had an idea for Duskpaw! Finally...She was becoming useless. xD]]
